Hundreds of thousands of activists around the world will “March Against Monsanto.” Currently, marches are being planned on six continents, in 36 countries, totaling events in over 250 cities, and in the US, events are slated to occur simultaneously at 11 a.m. Pacific in 47 states.

While it is great news that this study is bringing the beneficial effects of inexpensive and near-free plant compounds to light, the bad news is that the individuals responsible for the research are actually looking to create a pharmaceutical drug from the essential component triptolide. A drug that will seek FDA approval and ultimately be patented, nutritionally ruined, and sold for exorbitant amounts of cash. Instead, just get your hands on some thunder god vine for yourself.

The year 2012 was marked by economic meltdown followed austerity measures. That was the reality that everybody had to face. Well, except the those who created the crisis and are taking advantage from it.

The world's 100 richest people earned a stunning total of
$240 billion in 2012 – enough money to end extreme poverty worldwide four times
over, Oxfam has revealed, adding that the global economic crisis is further
enriching the super-rich.

“The richest 1 percent has increased its income by 60 percent
in the last 20 years with the financial crisis accelerating rather than slowing
the process,” while the income of the top 0.01 percent has seen even greater
growth, a new Oxfam report said.

For example, the luxury goods market has seen double-digit
growth every year since the crisis hit, the report stated. And while the
world's 100 richest people earned $240 billion last year, people in
"extreme poverty" lived on less than $1.25 a day.

Oxfam is a leading international philanthropy organization.
Its new report, ‘The Cost of Inequality: How Wealth and Income Extremes Hurt us
All,’ argues that the extreme concentration of wealth actually hinders the
world’s ability to reduce poverty. The report was published before the World Economic Forum in
Davos next week, and calls on world leaders to “end extreme wealth by 2025, and
reverse the rapid increase in inequality seen in the majority of countries in
the last 20 years.”

The problem is a global one, Oxfam said: "In the UK
inequality is rapidly returning to levels not seen since the time of Charles
Dickens. In China the top 10 percent now take home nearly 60 percent of the
income. Chinese inequality levels are now similar to those in South Africa,
which is now the most unequal country on Earth and significantly more
[inequality] than at the end of apartheid."

In the US, the richest 1 percent's share of income has
doubled since 1980 from 10 to 20 percent, according to the report. For the top
0.01 percent, their share of national income quadrupled, reaching levels never
seen before. “We can no longer pretend that the creation of wealth for a
few will inevitably benefit the many – too often the reverse is true,”
Executive Director of Oxfam International Jeremy Hobbs said.

Hobbs explained that concentration of wealth in the hands of
the top few minimizes economic activity, making it harder for others to
participate: “From tax havens to weak employment laws, the richest benefit from
a global economic system which is rigged in their favor.”

The report highlights that even politics has become
controlled by the super-wealthy, which leads to policies “benefitting the
richest few and not the poor majority, even in democracies.”

“It is time our leaders reformed the system so that it works
in the interests of the whole of humanity rather than a global elite,” the
report said.

CNN report on eco friendly sustainable hemp house built in Asheville, NC. Benefits include carbon negative construction, breathability, and reduced cost of heating and cooling.

Imagine you had a building material that was energy-efficient, non-toxic and resistant to mold, insects and fire. The material may even have a higher R-value, or thermal resistance, than concrete, a claim that is still being investigated.

The only problem? The base of the Hempcrete creation is hemp, which comes from the cannabis sativa plant -- the same one that produces marijuana, which is a federally banned substance. Because of this, industrial hemp production is illegal in the United States.

You can just stick this portable outlet to your window to start using solar power! So far we have seen solutions that act as a solar battery backup, but none as a direct plug-in. Simple in design, the plug just attaches to any window and does its job intuitively.

According to the designers, Kyuho Song & Boa Oh: “We tried to design a portable socket, so that users can use it intuitively without special training.”

It's a portable socket that gets its power from the sun rather than the grid. You plug into a window instead of into the wall. It's easy.

The solar panels suck energy from the sun. The charger converts that energy into electricity. You plug in to the charger.

The Window Socket pulls solar power to an internal battery, which can be either used immediately or saved for use during night time hours or when you are away from the sun.

After 8 hours of charging, the socket provides the user with 10 hours of electricity.

While it is often joked that cats have nine lives, a certain species of jellyfish has been deemed “immortal” by scientists who have observed its ability to, when in crisis, revert its cells to their earliest form and grow anew. That means that these tiny creatures, 4 mm to 5 mm long, potentially have infinite lives.

Our current economic system is based on the idea that a higher material reward motivates people to perform better. This turn out to be to true for physical tasks where higher incentive increases the performance. On the other hand, when the task involves even simple congnitive effort, the higher material incentive provokes a poorer perfomance. This study was not conducted by some 'marxist' NGO, but by Harvard and was funded by non other than the Federal Reserve.

A simple animated explanation of HOW the private Federal Reserve steals your money and WHY it must be stopped

The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us strive for the 'American Dream', and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.

The video creators understand that how the monetary system works can be very confusing to some and have done a brilliant job in explaining how the whole system is set up to keep you forever in debt. This is not what the original founding fathers of America had in mind.

Also, this is not just an American problem. It's the same scam in nearly all countries around the world
